That\u2019s because we have always secured seats on key committees that have empowered us to advocate and deliver for the unique needs of our constituents,\u201d said Congresswoman Trahan. \u201cAs our delegation\u2019s representative to the Steering and Policy Committee, I look forward to the work ahead to ensure every member from our region is best positioned to leverage their experience and relationships to advance legislation that will improve the lives of every family we have the honor to represent. I\u2019m grateful to my colleagues for the trust they\u2019ve placed in me in this role, and I\u2019m eager to roll up my sleeves to build on the progress we\u2019ve made to make New England a better place to call home.\u201d\n\nThe Steering and Policy Committee is responsible for appointing members of the House Democratic Caucus to committee seats. Considered an extension of House Democratic Leadership, the Steering and Policy Committee also considers candidates for committee leadership and votes to provide recommendations to the full caucus. Trahan succeeds Congresswoman Annie Kuster (NH-02) as the New England Delegation\u2019s regional representative.\n\n###", 1, "2026-04-06T14:24:52Z", "2026-04-06T15:54:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://trahan.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2689"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7682391442358494, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
